This didn't make it into the film Sicko, but it's well worth seeing.
Michael Moore also visits a much more civilized conceptualization of what we think of as a 'prison'. Given what we know about human behavior and criminology, prisons in the US and many other countries are a scientific and humanitarian embarrassment.

LUXURY PRISON in NORWAY - Serving Time with Amenities
The first clue that things are done very differently on Bastoy prison island, which lies a couple of miles off the coast in the Oslo fjord, 46 miles south-east of Norway's capital, comes shortly after I board the prison ferry. I'm taken aback slightly when the ferry operative who welcomed me aboard just minutes earlier, and with whom I'm exchanging small talk about the weather, suddenly reveals he is a serving prisoner -- doing 14 years for drug smuggling. He notes my surprise, smiles, and takes off a thick glove before offering me his hand. "I'm Petter," he says.
Before he transferred to Bastoy, Petter was in a high-security prison for nearly eight years. "Here, they give us trust and responsibility," he says. "They treat us like grownups." I haven't come here particularly to draw comparisons, but it's impossible not to consider how politicians and the popular media would react to a similar scenario in Britain.
There are big differences between the two countries, of course. Norway has a population of slightly less than five million, a 12th of the UK's. It has fewer than 4,000 prisoners; there are around 84,000 in the UK. But what really sets us apart is the Norwegian attitude towards prisoners. Four years ago I was invited into Skien maximum security prison, 20 miles north of Oslo. I had heard stories about Norway's liberal attitude. In fact, Skien is a concrete fortress as daunting as any prison I have ever experienced and houses some of the most serious law-breakers in the country. Recently it was the temporary residence of Anders Breivik, the man who massacred 77 people in July 2011.
Despite the seriousness of their crimes, however, I found that the loss of liberty was all the punishment they suffered. Cells had televisions, computers, integral showers and sanitation. Some prisoners were segregated for various reasons, but as the majority served their time -- anything up to the 21-year maximum sentence (Norway has no death penalty or life sentence) -- they were offered education, training and skill-building programmes. Instead of wings and landings they lived in small "pod" communities within the prison, limiting the spread of the corrosive criminal prison subculture that dominates traditionally designed prisons. The teacher explained that all prisons in Norway worked on the same principle, which he believed was the reason the country had, at less than 30%, the lowest reoffending figures in Europe and less than half the rate in the UK.
As the ferry powers through the freezing early-morning fog, Petter tells me he is appealing against his conviction. If it fails he will be on Bastoy until his release date in two years' time. I ask him what life is like on the island. "You'll see," he says. "It's like living in a village, a community. Everybody has to work. But we have free time so we can do some fishing, or in summer we can swim off the beach. We know we are prisoners but here we feel like people."
I wasn't sure what to expect on Bastoy. A number of wide-eyed commentators before me have variously described conditions under which the island's 115 prisoners live as "cushy", "luxurious" and, the old chestnut, "like a holiday camp". I'm sceptical of such media reports.
As a life prisoner, I spent the first eight years of the 20 I served in a cell with a bed, a chair, a table and a bucket for my toilet. In that time I was caught up in a major riot, trapped in a siege and witnessed regular acts of serious violence. Across the prison estate, several hundred prisoners took their own lives, half a dozen of whom I knew personally -- and a number were murdered. Yet the constant refrain from the popular press was that I, too, was living in a "holiday camp". When in-cell toilets were installed, and a few years later we were given small televisions, the "luxury prison" headlines intensified and for the rest of the time I was in prison, it never really abated.

5) JVA Fuhlsbuettel Prison, Germany
Germany is known for high quality, and this shows in their prisons.
JVA Fuhlsbuettel Prison in Hamburg, is probably their most luxury prison.
Renovated & reopened in 2011, its designed for long serving inmates.
The spacious cells include a bed, couch, and private shower & toilet.
Prisoners also have machines to do their laundry, a range of activities and a small conference room.
4) Justice Center Leoben, Austria
This modern looking building definitely wouldn't scare any criminal.
And if first looks can be deceiving then the inscription at the front of the prison which reads "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." definitely confirms this prison is a nice one.
To help keep this prisons peaceful atmosphere, it only detains people who committed non violent crimes.
Each prisoner is given a clean modern single cell, with a private bathroom, kitchenette, and a television.
Prison activities include a gym, basketball court and outdoor recreation area.
Since these prisoners aren't the most violent, all areas of the prison can be enjoyed peacefully.
3) Sollentuna Prison, Sweden
From the country that gave us Ikea, the inside of this prison definitely has that Ikea show room touch.
This modern top of line prison is better than most homes.
Inmates cells have comfortable mattresses and private bathrooms.
A typical day for a prisoner here would be to hit the gym, take a nice shower, cook up a nice warm meal in the kitchen then kick back and relax on the couch & watch your favorite TV shows.
The prison has been criticized for being too lenient however Sweden’s prison authorities are quick to point out that every square inch of the prison can be seen on security cameras.
2) Bastoy Prison, NorwayYes this looks more like someone enjoying a weekend away rather than a prison.
Bastoy Prison in Norway is a minimum security prison & houses inmates who haven't committed too serious crimes.
If you're wondering where the fences are, they're not really needed.
You see the prison is its own island, & the only way in or out is by boat.
This allows the inmates to roam about the beautiful landscape & enjoy activities such as sunbathing, tennis, fishing and horseback riding.
Rather than being locked up in cells, they live in their own little cottages & work on the prison farm.
Surprisingly the re-offending rates have been reported at 16%, compared to a European average of around 70%.
So regardless if you think this prison is too nice, it accomplishes it's goal of correcting inmates to law abiding citizens.
1) Halden Prison, Norway
This maximum security prison in Norway is very luxurious.
It doesn't detain small time criminals, instead the inmates in this prison are people convicted of the worst crimes such as rape & murder.
Each prisoners spacious cell has a flat-screen TV, a toilet, shower, mini-fridge, and unbarred vertical windows that let in more light.
Prisoners share kitchens and living rooms every 10–12 cells, and while the prison provides the food the prisoners can also buy ingredients and make their own meals.
Inmates are encouraged to take as much time as possible out of their cells.
Prisoners have an incentive of 53 kroner which is about $10 to leave their cells.
There is an "Activities House" which allows prisons to jog, play football, learn woodwork, cook, & have music lessons.
There is also a fully equipped recording studio where inmates can record their own music and have the opportunity for it to the broadcast by a local radio station.
A library with books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs, and a gym with a rock-climbing wall are also available.
However should this not be enough for prisoners, they also receive questionnaires that ask how their prison experience can be improved.

Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747sqmi) and a population of 5,109,059 people (2014). The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km or 1,006mi long). Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak Strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.

Halden Prison

Halden Prison (Norwegian:Halden fengsel) is a maximum-security prison in Halden, Norway. Established in 2010, it was created with a focus on rehabilitation that is reflected in its design. Its design is projected to help inmates reintegrate into society easily by simulating life outside the prison. With the same purpose, there are several activities available to the prisoners that vary from sports to music. Also, they are stimulated to interact with the non-armed staff to create a sense of community. Praised for its humane conditions, design and architecture, it has also received criticism from the Norwegian Progress Party.

Overview

Located in Halden, Østfold, Norway, Halden Prison was built with 1.5 billion Norwegian kroner (US$177 million/£114 million) and was constructed over 10 years. The prison received its first inmates on March 1, 2010 but was officially opened on April 8 by the Norwegian King Harald V. With a capacity of 248–252 prisoners and a site of 75 acres (30ha), it is the second largest prison in Norway.

Oliver has said that he has full creative freedom, including free rein to criticize corporations. His initial contract with HBO was for two years with an option for extension. In February 2015, it was announced that the show has been renewed for two additional seasons of 35 episodes each. Oliver and HBO programming president Michael Lombardo have discussed extending the show from half an hour to a full hour and airing more than once a week after Oliver "gets his feet under him".

Michael Moore Goes to Norway & Visits a Prison of the Future

This didn't make it into the film Sicko, but it's well worth seeing.
Michael Moore also visits a much more civilized conceptualization of what we think of as a 'prison'. Given what we know about human behavior and criminology, prisons in the US and many other countries are a scientific and humanitarian embarrassment.

Left Brain Prison in Norway - David Icke

Mass Incarceration in the US

Thanks to Visually (http://Visual.ly) for facilitating the creation of this video, to http://youtube.com/kurzgesagt for the animation, and to The Prison Policy Initiative for research help and fact checking. (http://www.prisonpolicy.org).
It wasn't easy to pick this topic, but I believe that America's 40-year policy of mass incarceration is deeply unethical, not very effective, and promotes the security of the few at the expense of the many.
It's hard for me, as a person who was born into privilege, to imagine the challenges convicted criminals face, often for crimes that are utterly non-violent.
If you're feeling like you want to do something about this, I'm mostly just making this video as an informational resource and to encourage people to think of felons not as bad, scary people but just as people.
The people at The Prison Policy Initiative were very helpful in the creation of this video and if you want to learn more about their work and how to get involved go to http://www.prisonpolicy.org

A Liberal Prison System - Bastoy Island, in the fjord of Oslo, Norway

LuxuryPrison
No walls, no barbed wire and no guards. The prison island of Bastoy in the fjord of Olso is more like a holiday camp than a prison.
When the weather is nice the inmates go for a walk by the sea or swim in it. They live in the same building but each one of them can decorate his room as he wishes. The director places his emphasis on trust and humanity. The prisoners are required to take responsibility. Norwegians are proud of their liberal prison system. And the statistics seem to back up the approach. Only 10 percent of inmates go on to reoffend.

Norwegian Prison

Fair Use Doctrine.
CONFIRMED BY TIME MAGAZINE (With Statistics) @rocaho001 The reoffenders rate in Norway is much less than the U.S.http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1986002,00.htmlAmerica's standard of living is very low. This prison has a higher standard of living than I do right now.
BTW, I am a heavy skeptic, and this is from Michael Moore's movie Sicko, one which some of you might disagree with. However, it is a good movie and I watched it with the assumption it was lies. It converted me.
This is from the D.V.D. of the movie, and it does not belong to me. However, I am sure Michael Moore won't mind considering he is anti capitalist and anti big corporation.

LUXURY PRISON in NORWAY - Serving Time with Amenities

LUXURY PRISON in NORWAY - Serving Time with Amenities
The first clue that things are done very differently on Bastoy prison island, which lies a couple of miles off the coast in the Oslo fjord, 46 miles south-east of Norway's capital, comes shortly after I board the prison ferry. I'm taken aback slightly when the ferry operative who welcomed me aboard just minutes earlier, and with whom I'm exchanging small talk about the weather, suddenly reveals he is a serving prisoner -- doing 14 years for drug smuggling. He notes my surprise, smiles, and takes off a thick glove before offering me his hand. "I'm Petter," he says.
Before he transferred to Bastoy, Petter was in a high-security prison for nearly eight years. "Here, they give us trust and responsibility," he says. "They treat us like grownups." I haven't come here particularly to draw comparisons, but it's impossible not to consider how politicians and the popular media would react to a similar scenario in Britain.
There are big differences between the two countries, of course. Norway has a population of slightly less than five million, a 12th of the UK's. It has fewer than 4,000 prisoners; there are around 84,000 in the UK. But what really sets us apart is the Norwegian attitude towards prisoners. Four years ago I was invited into Skien maximum security prison, 20 miles north of Oslo. I had heard stories about Norway's liberal attitude. In fact, Skien is a concrete fortress as daunting as any prison I have ever experienced and houses some of the most serious law-breakers in the country. Recently it was the temporary residence of Anders Breivik, the man who massacred 77 people in July 2011.
Despite the seriousness of their crimes, however, I found that the loss of liberty was all the punishment they suffered. Cells had televisions, computers, integral showers and sanitation. Some prisoners were segregated for various reasons, but as the majority served their time -- anything up to the 21-year maximum sentence (Norway has no death penalty or life sentence) -- they were offered education, training and skill-building programmes. Instead of wings and landings they lived in small "pod" communities within the prison, limiting the spread of the corrosive criminal prison subculture that dominates traditionally designed prisons. The teacher explained that all prisons in Norway worked on the same principle, which he believed was the reason the country had, at less than 30%, the lowest reoffending figures in Europe and less than half the rate in the UK.
As the ferry powers through the freezing early-morning fog, Petter tells me he is appealing against his conviction. If it fails he will be on Bastoy until his release date in two years' time. I ask him what life is like on the island. "You'll see," he says. "It's like living in a village, a community. Everybody has to work. But we have free time so we can do some fishing, or in summer we can swim off the beach. We know we are prisoners but here we feel like people."
I wasn't sure what to expect on Bastoy. A number of wide-eyed commentators before me have variously described conditions under which the island's 115 prisoners live as "cushy", "luxurious" and, the old chestnut, "like a holiday camp". I'm sceptical of such media reports.
As a life prisoner, I spent the first eight years of the 20 I served in a cell with a bed, a chair, a table and a bucket for my toilet. In that time I was caught up in a major riot, trapped in a siege and witnessed regular acts of serious violence. Across the prison estate, several hundred prisoners took their own lives, half a dozen of whom I knew personally -- and a number were murdered. Yet the constant refrain from the popular press was that I, too, was living in a "holiday camp". When in-cell toilets were installed, and a few years later we were given small televisions, the "luxury prison" headlines intensified and for the rest of the time I was in prison, it never really abated. "forbes rich list" "London luxury shopping" billionaire millionaire Monaco "super rich" "private jet" yacht entertainment "luxs report" us usa America uk London "Donald trump" Dubai elite executive arab ceo forbes Europe vip money lil wayne travel "5 star hotel "super car" bugatti LamborghiniFerrari Porsche private jet 2014 2015 monaco luxury "get rich" gambling investment Beverly HillsMalibuMiami "positive thinking" "super yacht" "mega yacht" "playboy mansion" "luxury lifestyle" mansion prison penal system Norway "Norway prison" It always seemed to me while I was in jail that the real prison scandal was the horrendous rate of reoffending among released prisoners. In 2007, 14 prisons in England and Wales had reconvictions rates of more than 70%. At an average cost of £40,000 a year for each prisoner, this amounts to a huge investment in failure -- and a total lack of consideration for potential future victims of released prisoners.

Across the prison estate, several hundred prisoners took their own lives, half a dozen of whom I knew personally -- and a number were murdered. Yet the constant refrain from the popular press was that I, too, was living in a "holiday camp". When in-cell toilets were installed, and a few years later we were given small televisions, the "luxury prison" headlines intensified and for the rest of the time I was in prison, it never really abated. "forbes rich list" "London luxury shopping" billionaire millionaire Monaco "super rich" "private jet" yacht entertainment "luxs report" us usa America uk London "Donald trump" Dubai elite executive arab ceo forbes Europe vip money lil wayne travel "5 star hotel "super car" bugatti LamborghiniFerrari Porsche private jet 2014 2015 monaco luxury "get rich" gambling investment Beverly HillsMalibuMiami "positive thinking" "super yacht" "mega yacht" "playboy mansion" "luxury lifestyle" mansion prison penal system Norway "Norway prison" It always seemed to me while I was in jail that the real prison scandal was the horrendous rate of reoffending among released prisoners. In 2007, 14 prisons in England and Wales had reconvictions rates of more than 70%. At an average cost of £40,000 a year for each prisoner, this amounts to a huge investment in failure -- and a total lack of consideration for potential future victims of released prisoners.

We recently did a video about the worst prisons, so now it's time to show you the best.
These next 5 prisons are so nice, most of us wouldn't even feel like we're being punished.
Here are 5 of the nicest prisons in the world.
We would like to give a big shoutout out to viewer Stephen Rodger for suggesting this video.

-------------------------------------------------------
5) JVA Fuhlsbuettel Prison, Germany
Germany is known for high quality, and this shows in their prisons.
JVA Fuhlsbuettel Prison in Hamburg, is probably their most luxury prison.
Renovated & reopened in 2011, its designed for long serving inmates.
The spacious cells include a bed, couch, and private shower & toilet.
Prisoners also have machines to do their laundry, a range of activities and a small conference room.
4) Justice Center Leoben, Austria
This modern looking building definitely wouldn't scare any criminal.
And if first looks can be deceiving then the inscription at the front of the prison which reads "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." definitely confirms this prison is a nice one.
To help keep this prisons peaceful atmosphere, it only detains people who committed non violent crimes.
Each prisoner is given a clean modern single cell, with a private bathroom, kitchenette, and a television.
Prison activities include a gym, basketball court and outdoor recreation area.
Since these prisoners aren't the most violent, all areas of the prison can be enjoyed peacefully.
3) Sollentuna Prison, Sweden
From the country that gave us Ikea, the inside of this prison definitely has that Ikea show room touch.
This modern top of line prison is better than most homes.
Inmates cells have comfortable mattresses and private bathrooms.
A typical day for a prisoner here would be to hit the gym, take a nice shower, cook up a nice warm meal in the kitchen then kick back and relax on the couch & watch your favorite TV shows.
The prison has been criticized for being too lenient however Sweden’s prison authorities are quick to point out that every square inch of the prison can be seen on security cameras.
2) Bastoy Prison, NorwayYes this looks more like someone enjoying a weekend away rather than a prison.
Bastoy Prison in Norway is a minimum security prison & houses inmates who haven't committed too serious crimes.
If you're wondering where the fences are, they're not really needed.
You see the prison is its own island, & the only way in or out is by boat.
This allows the inmates to roam about the beautiful landscape & enjoy activities such as sunbathing, tennis, fishing and horseback riding.
Rather than being locked up in cells, they live in their own little cottages & work on the prison farm.
Surprisingly the re-offending rates have been reported at 16%, compared to a European average of around 70%.
So regardless if you think this prison is too nice, it accomplishes it's goal of correcting inmates to law abiding citizens.
1) Halden Prison, Norway
This maximum security prison in Norway is very luxurious.
It doesn't detain small time criminals, instead the inmates in this prison are people convicted of the worst crimes such as rape & murder.
Each prisoners spacious cell has a flat-screen TV, a toilet, shower, mini-fridge, and unbarred vertical windows that let in more light.
Prisoners share kitchens and living rooms every 10–12 cells, and while the prison provides the food the prisoners can also buy ingredients and make their own meals.
Inmates are encouraged to take as much time as possible out of their cells.
Prisoners have an incentive of 53 kroner which is about $10 to leave their cells.
There is an "Activities House" which allows prisons to jog, play football, learn woodwork, cook, & have music lessons.
There is also a fully equipped recording studio where inmates can record their own music and have the opportunity for it to the broadcast by a local radio station.
A library with books, magazines, CDs, and DVDs, and a gym with a rock-climbing wall are also available.
However should this not be enough for prisoners, they also receive questionnaires that ask how their prison experience can be improved.

LuxuryPrison
No walls, no barbed wire and no guards. The prison island of Bastoy in the fjord of Olso is more like a holiday camp than a prison.
When the weather is nice the inmates go for a walk by the sea or swim in it. They live in the same building but each one of them can decorate his room as he wishes. The director places his emphasis on trust and humanity. The prisoners are required to take responsibility. Norwegians are proud of their liberal prison system. And the statistics seem to back up the approach. Only 10 percent of inmates go on to reoffend.

Fair Use Doctrine.
CONFIRMED BY TIME MAGAZINE (With Statistics) @rocaho001 The reoffenders rate in Norway is much less than the U.S.http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1986002,00.htmlAmerica's standard of living is very low. This prison has a higher standard of living than I do right now.
BTW, I am a heavy skeptic, and this is from Michael Moore's movie Sicko, one which some of you might disagree with. However, it is a good movie and I watched it with the assumption it was lies. It converted me.
This is from the D.V.D. of the movie, and it does not belong to me. However, I am sure Michael Moore won't mind considering he is anti capitalist and anti big corporation.

USA Correctional officer visits the most luxurious prison in the world

Thanks to Visually (http://Visual.ly) for facilitating the creation of this video, to http://youtube.com/kurzgesagt for the animation, and to The Prison Policy Initiative for research help and fact checking. (http://www.prisonpolicy.org).
It wasn't easy to pick this topic, but I believe that America's 40-year policy of mass incarceration is deeply unethical, not very effective, and promotes the security of the few at the expense of the many.
It's hard for me, as a person who was born into privilege, to imagine the challenges convicted criminals face, often for crimes that are utterly non-violent.
If you're feeling like you want to do something about this, I'm mostly just making this video as an informational resource and to encourage people to think of felons not as bad, scary people but just as people.
The people at The Prison Policy Initiative were very helpful in the creation of this video and if you want to learn more about their work and how to get involved go to http://www.prisonpolicy.org

"Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has threatened to go on hunger strike for better video games to alleviate his "torture"-like living conditions, in a letter received by AFP Friday.
The right-wing extremist -- who killed 77 people in a bomb and gun attack on July 22, 2011 -- enclosed a typed list of 12 demands sent to prison authorities in November. He described as "torture"-like his living conditions, in the high-security unit in Skien in southeast Norway where he serving out a 21-year sentence...".* Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What TheFlick?!, and TYTSports) and Cara Santa Maria (co-host and producer, TakePart Live) break it down on The Young Turks.

In fact there aren't enough prisoners to fill their cells.

Oslo Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Welcome to Oslo, the capital city of Norway.
Centuries ago, Viking longships prowled the waters around Norway. Some of those longships survived the ensuing years and found their way to the Viking Ship Museum, which is a must-see on any Oslo tour. The three longships on display here have been recovered from various parts of the country, and the museum also contains a number of artifacts from the Viking Age. Norway’s rich connection to the sea did not stop with the Vikings, though; just over a mile away from the Viking Ship Museum are several other educational complexes dedicated to the salt water that flows through Oslo’s veins. Visit the Norwegian Maritime Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum, and the Fram Museum to get a fuller idea of Oslo’s seaborne heritage.
While in town, stop by the Nobel...

TOP 10 MUST-SEE PLACES IN NORWAY - A Photographer's Guide

This is a travel guide to Norway showing the top 10 places you must see if you’re visiting. These tips are from the perspective of a photographer, but the places are perfectly fine to visit if you’re a regular traveller as well.
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around in Norway almost contently for the past few years as a time-lapse photographer. That has given me extensive knowledge of what Norway has to offer, also outside the most touristic places. This list includes some true hidden gems you might not have heard of before.
Norway is a fantastic country, and this list could’ve been much, much longer. But these are my favorites, and I’m sure you’ll love them too.

Bergen (Norway) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Bergen in Norway.
The history of the ancient and charming harbour town of Bergen, Norway’s ‘secret’ capital city, began in the eleventh century during the rule of BishopOlav Kyrre. One of the city’s most important twentieth century buildings is the Train Station that was inaugurated in 1907. The Stasjon is a captivating reminder of times gone by and its trains travel along one of the most picturesque railway routes in Europe. Bergen’s main tourist attraction is the Bryggen district that originated in the middle of the fourteenth century when it was heavily influenced by the North GermanHanseaticOffice. German traders were attracted by the prosperous city and so had a permanent administrative HQ built. The city not only boasts a fascinating history but also...

Oslo Travel Guide: Things to do in Oslo as a Tourist

Top Sightseeing locations to visit in Oslo, Norway. Including Downtown Oslo, The RoyalCastle, museums, Vigelandsparken, Holmenkollen, and more.
The exact locations are listed at the end of the description.
The Oslo Opera:
Do this one! The opera building is adjacent to the central station, and it's awesome. It's architecture is like walking on an iceberg, and it overlooks the Oslo fjord and Akershus Castle. Doesn't take much time.
Karl Johans gate:
The main walking street that connects Central Station (Oslo S) with the Royal Castle. I guess it's a must when you come to Oslo. You can't avoid it, and you shouldn't! Because it's the main street of Oslo. But Karl Johan is mostly for the tourists, beggars, scammers. People that live in Oslo, like me, hardly ever go there.
Royal Castle:...

The small village of Nusfjord is located in front of a captivating backdrop of mountains. Due to its unique location it looks more like a high mountain village than a fishing settlement.

Norway Travel: How Expensive is OSLO? & City Tour!

Welcome to Oslo, the capital city of Norway.
Centuries ago, Viking longships prowled the waters around Norway. Some of those longships survived the ensuing years and found their way to the Viking Ship Museum, which is a must-see on any Oslo tour. The three longships on display here have been recovered from various parts of the country, and the museum also contains a number of artifacts from the Viking Age. Norway’s rich connection to the sea did not stop with the Vikings, though; just over a mile away from the Viking Ship Museum are several other educational complexes dedicated to the salt water that flows through Oslo’s veins. Visit the Norwegian Maritime Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum, and the Fram Museum to get a fuller idea of Oslo’s seaborne heritage.
While in town, stop by the Nobel Peace Center—yes, this is the very location where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. The center itself showcases winners of the award, and highlights their impact on the world at large. After spending an afternoon wandering the center, prepare yourself for an evening of extraordinary live performances, as the Oslo Opera House is just a short walk away. This majestic building, with its sloping roofs and massive wall of windows, has been compared to an iceberg in appearance. Besides being a popular performing arts venue, it’s also a popular place for locals to meet before heading out into town.
If you plan your Oslo sightseeing during the summer, prepare yourself for long days of endless sunshine. Oslo’s position in the northern hemisphere ensures that the sun does not set until after 11 o’clock at night during the warm season. Who said you couldn’t get more hours in the day?
What was your favorite part of Oslo?

A Norwegian girl gives you her top tips on how to travel Norway cheaply (relatively speaking). Norway is an expensive country no matter how you look at it, but there are ways to cut costs and budget a little when visiting the lands of the fjords.

The plan for Bergen, Norway: walking tour of town center and the outdoor food market on the harbor; visit to the historic Brygen; and ride up the mountain by funicular to get a great view over the city.
Please subscribe: http://bit.ly/2pmdyeu
Our walking tour will have a look at downtown and some of the quiet residential neighborhoods.
A short walk to the edge of town brings you to the funicular which takes you up the Floyen Mountain for a marvelous view across the city from a 1000-foot high observation perch. The ride just takes eight minutes, making this an easy excursion. At the top you get a spectacular view of the town of Bergen and the harbor, making a nice way to start the day. We then explore the town, old and new.
One of the fun activities is a visit to the colorful open-air food market at the harbor, especially busy in the summertime, rich with fresh produce, fish and meat. They have fruits and sandwiches to go as well so you can pick up a relatively inexpensive lunch, or just get a light bite while browsing around.
The most impressive historic site in Bergen is the large collection of wooden buildings known as the Brygen, constructed about 300 years ago. These wooden buildings are so important they are on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites. The Brygen was the main residences, offices, shops and warehouses of this thriving town, which was one of the important cities of the Hanseatic League, the major trading network of Northern Europe.
In the hillside behind the Brygen you can wander through a residential neighborhood that developed hundreds of years ago before there were any automobiles, so as as a result you have narrow, quiet lanes that are for pedestrians, making a peaceful place to stroll. Bergen is worth exploring just to browse around the old streets and alleyways, which can be a most satisfying experience. The small wooden houses lying higgledy-piggledy, cobblestone step ways climb steeply and the passion for flowers is all around. You'll find he occasional shop in the middle of this residential district as well.

This is a travel guide to Norway showing the top 10 places you must see if you’re visiting. These tips are from the perspective of a photographer, but the places are perfectly fine to visit if you’re a regular traveller as well.
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around in Norway almost contently for the past few years as a time-lapse photographer. That has given me extensive knowledge of what Norway has to offer, also outside the most touristic places. This list includes some true hidden gems you might not have heard of before.
Norway is a fantastic country, and this list could’ve been much, much longer. But these are my favorites, and I’m sure you’ll love them too.
The full list:
1. Senja
1. Varangerhalvøya
1. Femundsmarka
4. Loenvatnet
5. Valdres
6. Hardanger
7. Helgeland
8. Lofoten
9. Nærøyfjorden
10. Jettegrytene i Nissedal

Travel video about destination Bergen in Norway.
The history of the ancient and charming harbour town of Bergen, Norway’s ‘secret’ capital city, began in the eleventh century during the rule of BishopOlav Kyrre. One of the city’s most important twentieth century buildings is the Train Station that was inaugurated in 1907. The Stasjon is a captivating reminder of times gone by and its trains travel along one of the most picturesque railway routes in Europe. Bergen’s main tourist attraction is the Bryggen district that originated in the middle of the fourteenth century when it was heavily influenced by the North GermanHanseaticOffice. German traders were attracted by the prosperous city and so had a permanent administrative HQ built. The city not only boasts a fascinating history but also a number of music festivals and world famous composer Edvard Grieg originated from Bergen. Indeed, each year the city holds a music festival in his honour with various concerts, ballets and theatrical performances. The inhabitants of Norway’s ‘secret’ capital city continue to care for and respect their historic cultural inheritance right up to the present day.

Top Sightseeing locations to visit in Oslo, Norway. Including Downtown Oslo, The RoyalCastle, museums, Vigelandsparken, Holmenkollen, and more.
The exact locations are listed at the end of the description.
The Oslo Opera:
Do this one! The opera building is adjacent to the central station, and it's awesome. It's architecture is like walking on an iceberg, and it overlooks the Oslo fjord and Akershus Castle. Doesn't take much time.
Karl Johans gate:
The main walking street that connects Central Station (Oslo S) with the Royal Castle. I guess it's a must when you come to Oslo. You can't avoid it, and you shouldn't! Because it's the main street of Oslo. But Karl Johan is mostly for the tourists, beggars, scammers. People that live in Oslo, like me, hardly ever go there.
Royal Castle:
It's quite small compared to other royal castles because Norway was a poor country when it was built. But it's still a nice place to walk through on your way to Bogstadveien or to spend half an hour.
Akershus Castle:
This is a nice medieval castle at the center of Oslo, overlooking the Oslo fjord, and Aker brygge. Very nice for sunsets, and after a day in Oslo sentrum or Aker Brygge. There is also a free military museum and a cheap WWII resistance museum here.
Aker Brygge:
These are the Oslo docks which have been redeveloped into a posh private restaurant/bar/shopping area. Nice for a walk, and plenty of places to sit down and watch people or the magnificent view of Akershus Castle. There's also a modern art museum here if that's your thing. If you do go to the modern art museum, be sure go all the way to the top terrace, where you find an even better view of Aker Brygge, the fjord and Akershus Castle.
Museum Island/Peninsula (Bygdøy):
This is where most of the museums are, including the Viking Ship Museum, Kon Tiki, Maritime Museum, Folk Museum. But be aware that it takes a day, and it's quite a detour, there's not much else to do there. If I had to pick one, I would do the VikingShip museum and maybe the adjacent Folk Museum.
Vigelandsparken/Frognerparken:
This sculpture park is very good, and very large. During summer this is a continuous party/BBQ, but in wintertime you will find mostly joggers and dog walkers. Do this park if naked stone people are your thing. Pro tip: The Oslo City museum is in the park, and its FREE!
Holmenkollen/Frognerseteren:
Holmenkollen is a giant ski-jump on a mountain overlooking Oslo. There is also the ski-museum and ski-stuff around here. Metro line 1 runs all the way to Frognerseteren and there is a cafe/restaurant close to the wilderness where you can overlook Oslo.
Ekebergåsen:
This is a lookout point close to Oslo, overlooking the city. If you are thinking of going to Frognerseteren for the view only, you should go here instead. Much closer to the city, so you get a better view and travel time is less, this is a nice spot to watch the sunset.
Some Pro Tips:
If you want to see "the fjord" for cheap, go to the beginning of Aker Brygge, and take the ferry (B10) to Nesodden and back again (don't get of). You will have a great view of Akershus Castle, Aker Brygge, numerous islands and the fjord.
The "RuterReise" app for live public transportation time tables or planning, or just use Google maps, there's another "RuterBillett" app for purchasing tickets with a credit card on your phone, but I think it's only in Norwegian. Then there is the https://ruter.no/en/ website for trip planning.
Uber app, works quite well, and is half price of normal taxi

The Naked Empire: Conversation with Barrett Brown on His Work, Pursuance Project, ProjectPM, & More

The NakedEmpire: Conversation with Barrett Brown on His Work, Pursuance Project, ProjectPM and More
Barrett Brown is a US investigative journalist and the founder of Project PM, a crowd-sourced investigation into the cyber-industrial complex. Barrett was imprisoned for charges relating to the 2011 Stratfor hack. JournalistGlenn Greenwald described this attack on Brown as “one of the most significant threats to press freedom that has happened in the United States in the last two decades at least.” Reporters Without Borders cited Barrett’s prosecution among its reasons for the United States dropping 14 spots on its press freedom rankings in 2014.
Barrett Brown was described as an unofficial spokesperson for Anonymous before he renounced his ties to the collective in 2011. He’s written two books and is writing his third, in addition to several articles about politics and journalism in the digital age.
In 2012, the FBI raided Barrett's house, and later that year Barrett was indicted on 12 federal charges. The most controversial charge, linking to the hacked data, was dropped, but in 2015 Brown was still sentenced to 63 months in prison.
Barrett Brown wrote a column from jail for The Intercept, for which he won a National Magazine Award and a New York Press Club journalism award.
On 16 July 2015, the Courage Foundation announced that Barrett was the organization’s fifth beneficiary. Courage relaunched Brown’s site with a new overview of Barrett’s case and Project PM’s work, in addition to compilations of Barrett’s journalism, books, legal documents and media appearances.
In addition to legal and commissary fees, Barrett was ordered to pay $890,250 in fines and restitution as part of his sentence. And I ask if you are able, please support Barrett in the repayment of this fine and one can find ways to do that on Barrett Browns site and I'll leave a link to that in the information section.
Barrett was released from prison to a halfway house on 29th November 2016.
And he has kindly accepted my invitation to speak with me.

On an Arctic mountain range with temperatures dropping to minus 54, young male and female soldiers live and breathe every minute together. Norway's Army is exploding gender divisions for a better force.
"In modern warfare it's critical to have women because it is about intelligence gathering, it's about cyber warfare, it's about working in small teams, it's about outreach to local populations", says Elizabeth Brodericl, a sex discrimination commissioner. She sees Norway's radical Border Guard as an example of how to effectively integrate women into the most male-dominated environments on earth. The challenges of living and sleeping together 24/7 are actually seen as positives by the young women. "We get to know each other faster and then we work better together", says Henriette. She has become "one of the guys" to her male room mates, conscripts who still heavily outnumber women. Sexual assault rates, already comparatively low in Norway's armed forces, are already declining. "There is a zero tolerance for harassment", says ColonelIngrid Gjerde.
